Location:
Christmas Common is situated on the Chiltern escarpment above the small town of Watlington and is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are excellent walking, biking and riding opportunities in the surrounding countryside. The village has a well-regarded public house/restaurant, The Fox & Hounds, and nearby Watlington as a good range of local shops and amenities. The larger centres of Henley, Oxford and High Wycombe provide extensive recreational, educational and shopping facilities. Excellent local private schools outside High Wycombe, Oxford and Henley. There is a mainline train service from High Wycombe to London Marylebone (about 25 minutes) access to the M.40 is just 4 miles distant.
Outside:
The property is currently approached from a single track lane through bluebell woods to triple garage and parking area at the rear of the house (There is an alternative route for a driveway that would allow an approach to the front of the house). A further area of parking lies to the front of the house and from here a gate in the garden wall opens to a vegetable garden with a greenhouse and shed. This area of garden is laid mainly to lawn and accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room with double doors opening to a terrace. A door from the rear lobby and double doors from the study/family room open to a terrace which runs the length of the house and is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the views over the garden and surrounding countryside. The garden is laid mainly to lawn with a pretty pond under a mature ash tree and throughout there are large well stocked borders planted with perennial plants, shrubs and trees. A path leads across the garden to outbuildings comprising a studio/office, store room and log store.
